This appliance provides special settings for
use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath
mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the
oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available
while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are automatically
locked during Sabbath mode.
Important: The oven light will turn off during the Sabbath mode
and remain off until the Sabbath mode is canceled. The meat
probe feature is not available in Sabbath mode.
To set the oven for baking and activate the Sabbath feature:
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the
oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
1. Be sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. Place
food in the oven.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to Bake.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to the desired bake
temperature.
4. An acceptance chime will sound, the oven will start heating
and the LED lights will stop blinking and remain on.
5. To enter Sabbath mode press and hold the Light key for
about 3 seconds. The control will sound an acceptance
chime and SAB will appear in the display below the time of
day.

Note: During the Sabbath mode all normal sounds of the oven
control will be turned off. However the control will allow any
sounds associated with alarms.
During Sabbath operation the oven temperature may be
changed by adjusting the oven temperature selector. The oven
will remain in Sabbath until canceled by the user.
To turn off the Sabbath feature:
1. Turning the oven mode selector and the oven temperature
selector to the OFF position will cancel BAKE only.
2. To turn off the Sabbath feature press and hold the oven
light key for about 3 seconds.
3. The acceptance chime will sound and SAB will disappear
from the display. Be sure both oven selectors are returned to
the OFF positions
Power failure while using Sabbath feature:
Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven
will shut off. When power is returned, SF (Sabbath Failure) will
be displayed, and the oven will not turn back on automatically.
If your food was nearly fully cooked, you may allow the
trapped heat in the oven to finish the cooking process.
Otherwise, you should remove the food when the power failure
occurs because you may only start the oven once during the
Sabbath/Jewish holidays.
To turn off the Sabbath feature:
1. Turn the oven mode selector and the oven temperature
selector to the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the Light key for at least 3 seconds. SF will
disappear from the display, and the oven may be used with
all normal functions.
